Let is Snow - and then some more!!!!

My entire back yard is one giant snow pile!!!!! Watch me play in it!

Christmas snow

Here is my yard right now. I am enjoying the snow!

And this is what I look like when I go in the house!!!

December

Well it is has been a long time since the guys have allowed me to update my blog. But the lack of posts are indication of life around here lately - nothing much happened. That is until this week. Boxes came out of the garage and I wanted to get my nose into them but the guys would not let me near them. When they did open them it was nothing but green stuff that didn't smell interesting. When I tried to put my mouth around it to taste I was given a stern 'NO'.

Today they put me through misery - they posed me in many positions to take pictures. I was not having fun but at least I got a few tasty treats out of the deal!!! See below for the outtakes.

Happy Thanksgiving

Another Canadian Thanksgiving, and another resoposibility! It is up to me to make sure that the turkey is up to my exacting standards, so I checked out this one the best way a dog knows how. Lucky for him, he was just a wee bit too pre-stuffed for our supper...


...but I'll be watching for you next year!!

The Guys are Back

Well the guys are back from their trip to California. They tell me that they could not take me but I am not buying it! Rick had a school library conference in Berkeley to attend so Bob tagged along and poor me got left behind. Before they left, they took a few photos of me - they said it was to show me off to friends that they will meet up with but I was not too sure. I would not co-operate until biscuits were involved.







I guess they were telling the truth about missing me because as they unpacked their suitcases they brought our a bronze statue of me - well it looked like me but the ears were a little different. This is now sitting beside the Irish whiskey (that Rick brought home)! Then they brought out a yellow diamond with an outline of me that said Irish Terrier crossing! Whenever I go outside I can look up and see this sign - I think it is cool!

They tell me that we are going to go on a road trip - just the three of us. I hear a ferry ride and a stay at a hotel is being planned. I hope it is Victoria because I like that place. Remember I went there last year. View blog entry.

Stay tuned!!!

Catching Up

I know it has been a long time since anything was posted here! But it is summer and I have have been a little busy. Rick is on holidays so it is great, the crate is almost a distant memory. I get to explore the yard almost all day - no bird dares to come close now.

I have had a number of adventures since my last posting. I have been to the dog park a few times. As always there is a variety of dogs running about - poodles, pointers, shepherds, mixed breeds . . .

As you can see, I have a great time at the dog park!

New Pastime

The guys were so nice to move the comfy foot stool from the family room to the living room. They put it right in front of the window. Now I get to watch the world go by my house.








The the frustrating part is the fact that bunnies live across the street. They stroll down the side of the road grazing on the grass - and I can't get them. Life is so unfair at times!

Happy Canada Day

Well, the guys have finally have left and I have free access to the computer. I better make this quick as they may be back at any time.

Today is Canada's birthday. I hope I get some cake! Here is my way of celebrating the day!

One Year Later!

I have been living with the guys for a whole year this weekend. The following is a small collection of my year with them. Enjoy!!!!

Supervising Again

Another weekend, another supervising job. As you can see, the yard was a construction site again. The guys redesigned the south side of the yard this time. They made a raised triangular garden bed with trees (Portuguese Laurel; Alaskan Weeping Willow; Korean Dogwood), a rhododendron, day lilies and a few other things. They tell me that they plan to add bedding plants when the weather gets better. As they were planting, I had to make sure my views were known!

Just to let you know - I am the thin one in the photo above!!!!!!!


Here is the finished product:

Today is my birthday!

Happy birthday to me!
Happy birthday to me!
Happy birthday to Dougal!
Happy birthday to ME!!!!!!!!!

I am one today! Yes such a milestone - my first birthday. I got a card in the mail from my favourite store in the world - Petsmart saying that I could have any toy. It took a lot of convincing but the guys finally relented and took me there.

I had a great time choosing the perfect toy.

Here is the one I chose!
